About this home
Lakefront Living at Its Best!
There’s something special about life at the lake. The slower mornings. The peaceful water views. The sound of boats drifting by while friends gather on the patio and dinner cooks on the grill. At this Lake Wauwanoka retreat, every day feels like a getaway while still offering the comfort and functionality of a well-cared-for home designed for real living.
From the moment you arrive, it’s easy to picture weekends filled with fishing, sunset cruises, bonfires, and long conversations under the stars. Tucked along the shoreline with a private dock and sweeping water views, this updated home blends indoor comfort with the outdoor lifestyle people dream about.
Inside, thoughtful updates make the home move-in ready while still leaving room to personalize and make it your own. The fully remodeled kitchen, completed in 2018, features quartz countertops, updated cabinetry, modern finishes, and a clean, efficient layout that flows naturally into the main living spaces. Luxury vinyl plank flooring runs throughout most of the home, creating a durable and cohesive look that fits perfectly with lake life.
The lakeview living room may quickly become your favorite spot in the house. And it can easily be converted into a 3rd bedroom! Large windows pull in natural light while framing peaceful water views that change beautifully throughout the day. Morning coffee feels different here. Evening storms rolling across the lake feel unforgettable. The flexible floor plan also offers options for changing needs, including the potential to convert the lakeview living area into a third bedroom. The dining space can easily transition into an additional gathering room centered around the fireplace, creating even more flexibility for entertaining or relaxing after a day on the water.
Step outside and the lifestyle truly comes to life. The oversized patio overlooking the lake was made for entertaining. Picture an outdoor kitchen, a large pergola strung with lights, Adirondack chairs gathered around a fire pit, and family and friends spending entire weekends outdoors because nobody wants to leave. Honestly, once people visit, you may have trouble getting them to go home!
The private dock offers direct access to the clean, well-maintained lake where boats up to 10HP are permitted, making it ideal for pontoons, fishing boats, kayaking, or simply floating the afternoon away. Whether you love fishing at sunrise, slow evening cruises, or spending summer days anchored with neighbors and friends, the lake becomes part of your everyday life here.
Beyond the property itself, Lake Wauwanoka offers an incredible recreational lifestyle with access to more than 700 acres of community amenities. Residents enjoy hiking trails, ATV and UTV riding areas, fishing ponds, wooded spaces to explore, designated hunting and fishing areas following local guidelines, a gun range, sandy beach area, playground, picnic spaces, beach volleyball court, and a clubhouse available for private gatherings and events. It’s the kind of place where weekends naturally turn into memories.
Additional major updates provide peace of mind, including a metal roof installed in 2018, a whole-house water filtration system, a 3-year-old water heater, and a brand-new driveway with a spacious 3-car parking pad perfect for vehicles, lake toys, ATVs, or guests. There’s even additional street parking, making hosting easy.
Whether you’re searching for a full-time residence, a weekend escape, or a place where life simply feels a little more relaxed, this property delivers the rare combination of updated interior spaces, outdoor recreation, and true waterfront living. Seller is also offering a home warranty, making this lake retreat ready to enjoy from day one....
